I have a question: How do you say "my father's name" in Esperanto? I couldn't figure out how to say "my ___'s ___".

Granted, you can quite reliably replace "___'s ___" by "la ___a ___o". Zamenhof's language -> La zamenhofa lingvo.
However, doing the same with "my ___'s ___" might result in confusion. Mia patra nomo would likely be understood as "the name I bear as a father".
An unconventional alternative would be La miapatra nomo ([mia patro]a -> miapatra) but for clarity's sake it's best to reserve this for literary usage.
Thus, the safest option is la nomo de mia patro.
